AKTIVIERUNGSVORRICHTUNG UND STEUERVERFAHREN ZUM INSASSENSCHUTZ

摘要

A floor sensor ( 14 ) is disposed at a center portion of a vehicle body ( 10 ) and front sensors ( 16, 18 ) are disposed at front portions of the vehicle body ( 10 ). An airbag apparatus ( 30 ) always activates when a value determined by the relationship between a floor deceleration (GF) detected by the floor sensor ( 14 ) and a change in floor velocity (Vn) exceeds a High Map toward the high side of the floor velocity. The airbag apparatus ( 30 ) also activates on the condition that the value determined by the relationship between the front deceleration (Gs*) detected by the front sensors ( 16, 18 ) and the change in floor velocity (Vn) exceeds a Front Map toward the high side of the floor deceleration (GF) when the value determined by the relationship between the floor deceleration (GF) detected by the floor sensor ( 14 ) and the change in floor velocity (Vn) exceeds the Low Map but does not exceed the High Map toward the high side of the floor velocity.
